I was a new writer once.

The goal to get 100 followers turned out to be the best way to start with Medium. It was a tangible challenging but fun goal. It was a great way to cut my teeth and get to know the amazing community of writers that I was joining. It was a group that I needed to earn my way into — which makes my commitment to becoming a member so much more meaningful.

Right now, you might not be feeling this way. It is hard work to meet the goal. Keep reading because I can help you!

As you, I kept incessantly checking my follower count — “50, 72,93 C’mon!”

This article summarized how motivated I was to make it to the Finish!

Now is the time to return the favor to you as Medium has accepted me and has sent me gloriously on my way.

So please follow me below and I will follow you. Easy.
